Fall Return to Play Addendum

Updated Covid-19 Safety Measures

Practice Guidance

Prior to the start of each practice, coaches need to designate a space for each player to place their personal belongings (water bottles, bags, etc.) which shall be spaced 6 feet apart and marked with a cone or disc.

Players are NOT to help coaches with equipment. I know that in the past, this was part of player development and responsibility, however this increases the risk of transmission.

Players/Coaches are required to bring a mask to practice and should wear it when not practicing or social distancing.

Players/Coaches should bring hand sanitizer to practice.  The club will also have a designated hand sanitation station as well during practices.

Coaches will need to assign a “Team Manager”. This can be an assistant coach and/or parent that will be present during most practices. The Team Manager will be a “Potential Exposure” designee to contact all parents and stay with other players in the event of a player presenting signs of COVID-19 during practice or game. The Head Coach is to isolate and stay with the ill player, until the parent picks them up.  Players that show signs of COVID-19 will not be able to return without negative COVID results and/or a 14 day quarantine. The Head Coach will immediately contact Melissa Headlee and/or Missy Hogg. They will contact Dan Kennedy and PA West. The team will not be allowed to practice or play games until negative results and/or 14 days have passed with no signs or symptoms of COVID-19.  (PLEASE - If a team has a “Potential Exposure” and siblings are on another team, PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THE SIBLING(s) HOME from their team practice or game. Sibling’s that attend a different team practice/game, will cause a trickle effect and shutting down another team. All coaches will be notified of the “Potential Exposure” team and if siblings are on their teams. 

Game Day Guidance

Players are required to bring a mask to games and should wear it when not playing on the field and/or not 6 feet apart from teammates.  

Players should bring hand sanitizer to games.  Coaches should have sanitizer available as well.

Players & coaches should bring their own lawn/camp chair to use for seating when on the sidelines.  Chairs should be spaced 6 feet apart to maintain appropriate social distancing.  If spaced 6 feet apart, a mask need not be worn.  We will not be using benches for seating on sidelines this season.

Spectators are limited to 2 parent(s)/guardians per soccer player along with siblings.  This may change as the season progresses.

Coaches shall inform parents (spectators) prior to the start of the season that they are required to wear a mask during games on the sidelines.  This is very important, as our entire season could be cancelled if we are reported for not following these safety measures. Anyone who is not wearing a mask must be at least 25ft away from other spectators and fields.

Welcome to the Wilmington Area Soccer Club (WASC). The purpose of the club is to develop, promote, and administer the game of soccer for youth under nineteen (19) years of age within the territory of Lawrence County, PA and Mercer County, PA, and primarily in Wilmington Area School District.

The Wilmington Area Soccer Club is an affiliate of the Western Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association hereinafter known as PA West and has been constituted as a Youth Soccer Association as defined in the USYSA (United States Youth Soccer Association) Constitution.

Wilmington Area Soccer Club practices and plays U6,U8,U10 and U12 home games at Marti Park in New Wilmington, PA.   WASC U14/U15 games are being held at the Wilmington Area School District football stadium.  Physical address is 400 Wood Street New Wilmington PA.  The football field is located between the middle and elementary school.  Restrooms are available on site of all of our locations.

Please note, we only close the fields when necessary.  The park tends to hold water, and if practices occur during that type of situation, the game fields will not be ready for game days.
